Analysis and
Inspection - New in Rhino 5

Design realization requires high‑quality 3-D models in every phase of
design, presentation, analysis, and
fabrication. Rhino 5 includes
9 new tools and more than 15 enhancements
to help ensure that the 3‑D models used
throughout your process are the highest
possible quality.

DraftAnglePoint
- Places a point object on a surface
where the
surface's draft angle matches the
input value. The tool is designed
primarily to help draw curves along
surfaces where the surface has a
given draft angle. Mold makers in
particular can use this to mark the
limits where an object can be
cleanly pulled from a mold.

ExtractAnalysisMesh
- Extracts an analysis mesh
from an object. For example, use the
CurvatureAnalysis command and then run
ExtractAnalysisMesh to add the analysis
mesh (with the vertex colors) to the
document.

ExtractCurvatureGraph
- Creates a curve object that
is the curvature graph.

IntersectTwoSets
- This variation of the Intersect command
allows selecting two sets of objects
for finding intersections. The command
finds only the intersections between the
two groups, ignoring the intersections between
objects in the same group.
